Seems like novafusion did some hard work here again. Akthough I’ll keep using the established Carbon 4.4.4 for next time I still welcome the effort you are making here, for having an even better ROM in future and keeping our vendorly ditched mini alive!

Had a bootloop too.. Go back into recovering, wipe, advanced and convert cache, dalvik and system tot ext4 ( one of them doesn’t, will give an error message. Then try to flash again. First flash ROM , reboot and the flash g-apps. That worked for me. ROM was a but sluggy, and in call audio didn’t work. Reverted back to cm 11. Cm12 looks nice BTW, keep up the good work, looking forward to the progress.

First of all thank you for your hard work! Mobile Internet does work now what is great!
I have noticed the following issues: still red frame, menu button shows last used programs instead of the menu, camera not working (even 3rd Party support does not work for me), no mic or speaker support so no phoning, sometimes the phone is a little bit slow or unresponsive for a moment

Still a great work and I’m sure you’ll fix almost everything with the first stable release. It’s still beta and for the second or third 5.0 rom released it’s ok

not wait to get out a stable version .
he could have removed the red band since last upload someone taught to solve just adding a line in builid .
a rather stable version comes out to the end of this year ?
and please correct calls when you do this I will use as the main OS and congratulations on more work please release more updates with more fixes

I have some problems with the riproduction of videos and some photos, when the phone is charging and I try to turn it off it reboots, even when it is off in charging it comes on. It lags most of kitkat

Phone Calls do work, but speakers Do NOT WORK ON PHONE CALLS! Gps cannot be disabled. Youtube does not work, HtmL5 videoplayer does not work, sound and música are really buggy. Everything else works with no problemes ( WiFi, bluetooth, 3G , msm, gapps, micr0phone). Sometimes camera works but only with other apps instead of google camera

Just download de zip and the gapps , go to twrp and flash them both ( zip and gapps) . CM12 has no graphic install options, yet, the only thing you should see is plain text in a command prompt style. Hope this help you.

If it saying “instalation failed” then:
1. Redownload (personally I recommend through Internet exploler) this rom and try again.
2. If still no go, try to update/reinstal TWRP on your phone.
3. If still no go, then I don’t know whats going on…

Hi guys. i have a serious problem please help me. I tested this rom and then returned to cm11 and now i cant connect to network operator. Baseband version changed to XXXX. even after flashing stock rom problem stays. please help

hey all, i have try an older cm 12, and back to carbon rom whit a back up, from that moment i cant conect my s3 mini via usb to my computer, can some one help me to fix it, i try reinstall from 0 but the problem stay, i need help please

Had a similar issue. You have tot be sure that you have your directories in the ext4 format. Go back into recovery. Select wipe. Select advanced. Choose for change format. Change dalvik, cache and system to ext4. One will return an error, cache or dalvik. No worries about that. Then try to flash cm12 again. Boot it. This worked for me. May the ROM be with you…

Hey M&M! This ROM is great, but there are a few things:
Of course it’s a beta and there are so many bugs. But camera and calls have to work for me. (I will download this ROM, when it’s getting stable. And the performance isn’t that great. So, good work!
